Case: Inspecting heat sealed packages

Airtight packages preserve the product’s freshness, improve quality and prevent leaks. It is essential to ensure that the package is reliably sealed, and this sets requirements for seal inspection process. Hyperspectral imaging is the only imaging method that reliably finds the imperfect seals through the sealing film, even when the package is printed.


Minebea Intec and Bergader Privatkäserei have integrated Specim FX17 in their seal inspection process and found it to be the perfect solution for their requirements. “With it, we have been able to achieve the desired cycle speed of around 145 inspections per minute and attain virtually 100% reliability in detecting heat-sealed joint faults.”
